This short and concise drama has come to the second season. It is still only three episodes, and it continues the style of each episode, but it is still very exciting, full of connotation and irony, the same as the previous season. In the same way, the three episodes each bring three forward-looking, slightly beyond the present in terms of technology and social structure, but it makes people feel that it may be about to appear or happen in the near future. story.
Like the previous season, the premise of all the stories in this season is the leap of technology. Each aspect expounds the director's attitude towards the social phenomenon that may appear in the future and the attitude towards this social phenomenon.
The cold camera perspective records three heart-warming stories. The first is a tragic accident. The originally intimate and happy couple is instantly separated by yin and yang, and the heroine Martha, who can't let go of it, gradually appears. After experiencing emotional breakdown, and then learning that she was pregnant with her boyfriend Ash's posthumous child, her world was on the verge of complete destruction. However, a cutting-edge digital technology learned from a friend made Martha ignite. With a new hope, Ash, who is a digital and Internet madman, has saved countless digital images and audio data about himself. Through these data, an advanced software can make Ash come back to life on the other end of the phone, and Chat service is provided at any time, and through gradual adjustment, the phone and Ash on the other end of the network are completely reproduced as a copy of the situation, which not only makes Martha happy, but also gradually has an unparalleled sense of dependence on this technology. , all of their emotional sustenance is entirely on the phone and the Internet. In the eyes of outsiders, she gradually walked out of the shadow of Ash's death, but what no one knew was that Martha was actually more deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate herself. Gradually, only voice communication was no longer enough to satisfy Martha's yearning for her boyfriend. A valuable upgrade experiment "product" was delivered by courier. In a moment, an almost identical appearance Ash walked out of the bathroom. Coming out, plus the implantation of the software and the various intimate functions it has, to a certain extent, it can be said that Ash is really resurrected. However, after "using" for a period of time, Masha, who was pregnant, gradually discovered that "he" was just like Ash, but he did not have a real soul. As a spiritual sustenance, "he" was only barely able to "use" It's just that the director left the discussion on human nature and human relations to the "three members" of Martha's family after her daughter grew up, and everyone in front of the TV.
The story of the second episode shows a perverted and deformed state from the beginning. The whole incident is bizarre and incomprehensible. For the naked pursuit and brutal acts of violence, the people around them are so Outrageous - fanatically recording everything in front of her with her mobile phone, as if everything that happened was just a show, not a bloody murder, but in the end, it turned out to be the situation I suspected before, and all the tortures for the heroine were just a show Reality show, all the audience can enjoy this exciting performance from zero distance, and the heroine who is not short-circuited in her head is actually a brutal murderer, and everything in front of her is atrocities against her Punishment, once the performance is finished, the memory is erased and the memory is erased and repeated, so as to achieve the effect of punishing him, but even if the person has committed a heinous crime, is such a punishment inhumane? Are the minds of everyone watching this performance distorted? Let the audience decide for themselves!
The last story I personally think is also the most exciting and subversive story, a blue cartoon bear Waldo, an inexperienced voice actor Jamie who hides behind him and acts as the soul of this cartoon character, and his behind-the-scenes team and Boss, gradually through completely irresponsible and bottomless nonsense, and even extremely vulgar words and deeds, in the digital age, it has won the attention of many people. In the increasingly distorted future world, such words and deeds have become highly sought after. , so Waldo began to intensify his efforts to crush all kinds of morals. The famous Waldo became a candidate for the congressional vote. A virtual cartoon character with absolutely no morals has won a lot of people. The support of the . . . . . . . But Jamie, who is hiding behind him, because of all the encounters in his life, all the troubles are sprayed out through Waldo's mouth, which fulfills the animation image. At the same time, it also tortured his soul. Often after a happy rant, he fell into a deep introspection. However, the onlookers did not take it seriously. They don't need to know the one behind Waldo at all. What kind of state of mind is the owner of the voice? They only pursue happiness, and they don't even need to know who the owner of the voice is. Completely irresponsible people in this society are in the majority, and although Waldo failed to win the election, it once again set off a farce. What exactly is real democracy in political democracy, and what is the bottom line?
Looking forward to the next season!
